From texting and typing to cooking meals, our hands and wrists perform intricate movements that are easy to take for granted – until injury strikes. The sudden onset of pain, swelling and limited mobility from wrist and hand trauma makes completing simple tasks difficult.
Seeking prompt diagnosis and treatment ensures you regain flexibility, grip strength, and dexterity in injured areas for improved function. At Bodykinetics Physiotherapy Clinic, wrist and hand rehabilitation is one of our specialties. Read on to learn about common injuries and recovery solutions provided by our experienced physiotherapists.
Understanding Wrist & Hand Injuries
The wrist is comprised of numerous small bones connected by ligaments alongside nerves and blood vessels running through narrow spaces. Similarly, intricate muscles, tendons and ligaments give the hands tremendous mobility. However, this complex anatomy also increases vulnerability to various traumatic, overuse and inflammatory injuries:
Sprains & Strains – Forceful, awkward movements can overextend wrist ligaments causing tears (sprains). Repeated stress leads to small tears or inflammation in tendons or muscle fibers (strains).
Fractures – A fall catching your body weight on an outstretched hand transmits enough force to break wrist bones like the radius or ulna. Finger fractures also occur frequently.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Swelling inside the carpal tunnel compresses the median nerve causing tingling, numbness and pain in the thumb, index and middle fingers. Weak grip strength often results.
Arthritis – Inflammatory types like rheumatoid arthritis affect the delicate joints in the wrists and hands leading to painful swelling and stiffness that worsens with activity.
Tailored Recovery Solutions for Wrist & Hand Injuries
Difficulty gripping objects or performing fine motor tasks? At Bodykinetics Clinic, we create personalized treatment plans to rehabilitate wrist and hand problems using targeted physiotherapy techniques and modalities.
An accurate diagnosis is crucial – we thoroughly assess symptoms, risk factors, and your unique activity demands to determine the underlying tissue or structures involved. Special tests indicate issues with muscles, ligaments, nerves or joints.
Next, specific interventions to resolve the injury are selected and tailored to your needs for optimal restoration of strength and function. We leverage manual therapy, advanced technology like shockwave therapy, and targeted exercises using resistance bands, weights, putty and more. Guiding you through each stage of recovery, we work diligently until you regain flexibility, grip power and pain-free mobility.
